GDG- Lefty's

Am not dealing with you Al until you retract your accusation- go post to
someone else until you do.

I sure seem to recall seeing it on TV many times.
Prove to me that he didn't say it. Then you have some credentials with
me.
----------------------
It's a fallacy to ask someone to prove a negative. You make the positive
assertion he said it, so the burden of proof is yours. I've provided
evidence to the contrary. You just provide another factless rant.
As far as I am concerned, as I live and breath, I sure recall seeing it
and hearing it many times on Dragnet.
And before you call me a liar go do some research and watch every
episode-
both the old series, and the newer one in the 60s. If you watch every
single one and don't see them say just the facts ma'am then I may drop
it.
-----------------
I've seen every episode already. It's up to you to provide the episode
in
which he says it.
Otherwise, according to your own standards, you're a "lying author." Of
course, those aren't my standards, and I wouldn't call you a "lying
author,"
but to be consistent we should hold you to the same standards you want to
impose on others, no?
Before I relocated a year ago we got Dragnet on that cable company. I
sure recall either Friday or his partner saying it.
---------------------
Which is it? You claimed Joe Friday said it. Now is it him or his
partner? If he didn't say it, by your own standards, you're a "lying
author."
Again, I would be willing to say it's just an honest mistake, but in
order to
be consistent we should hold you to the same standards you wish to impose
on others.
And just because you come along and say it isn't true you rush to use
it
as an excuse to call me a liar!
---------------------
Just holding you to your own standard. Or can't you take holding
yourself
to the same standards you want for others?
You've got some problems Al,
----------------------
Talk about projection.
and you may just want to apologize to me.
---------------------
I apologize for holding you to the same standard you want to impose on
others. I'm sorry you can dish it out but you can't take it. And
finally, I
apologize for treating you the same way you want to treat others.
You can't prove without watching all the episodes that they didn't say
it
and you call me a liar.
-----------------------
The burden of proof is on you, since you claim he said it. I reject your
claim, and I have provided evidence that your claim is false. For
someone
who wants to deal in black-and-white facts, you're short on them.
And just how do you know they didn't say it?
------------------------
I've seen every episode of the show with Jack Webb as Joe Friday, as well
as the movie. Also, I have evidence to contradict you.
You're a big believe in wikipedia, aren't you?
"Supposedly, he also made the line, 'Just the facts, ma'am,' famous. In
fact, what Friday actually said in an early episode is 'All we want are
the
facts.' Friday, as portrayed by Webb, never actually said the oft-repeated
phrase. Indeed, it was more Stan Freberg's parodies of the Dragnet series
that popularized the phrase."

Just give me the facts Sir and stop calling people liars until you can
prove.
------------------------
You first.
"Just the facts, ma'am." Sgt. Joe Friday. Dragnet.
-----------------------------
Never said it. According to your own standards, that makes you a "lying
author," then.
Best Regards,
Al Mackey
